• Reboot loop after running Windows Update

  After installing the updates, I received a message that the "computer must be restarted before that udpdating can continue." After the reboot, the message appeared again and now appears after every restart.  If I choose not to reboot, I can use the machine, but get the message when I start early in the day.  How can I solve this problem?  I'm running Vist Ultimate.

  kseebold,

  It seems that you have a file or a driver that is corrupt. Sometimes the file or drive may be hit if she isn't bad corrupt. I suggest that you BACK UP all your data. Here are some things you can try CHECKDISK, SFC SCAN, and ChecKSUR.

  HOW TO CHECK THE DISK:

• Colors in Windows 7 too bright/faded after running Windows Update for the first time (everything was going well after initial installation). See the details.

  I just installed Windows 7 Pro on a HP Pavilion with a HP w2007 20 ". I have had no problem of color first and everything worked fine. The first time I ran Windows Update, it included an optional update called "HP - display - HP w2007 LCD wide screen". That the update "has failed" to install and when I rebooted, my screen had a look very 'neon' - my desktop background, a picture of a tree with a bunch of Red leaves, was very washed out and now most of the leaves were bright red with no visible details. This is obvious everywhere, not only my desktop background (another example... small green circles next to the names of Gmail chat contacts are very bright green, more even than usual). Everything is too bright. I tried the following hotfixes:

  -Manually reinstall the update of the HP screen (it worked this time) and restart - did not work.
  -Reset my monitor to factory setting - has failed.
  -Download and install the latest HP driver for this monitor - did not work.
  -Through: "Control panel-> appearance and personalization-> display-> Calibrate color" and through an assistant color calibration (that's new for Windows 7?). Also, did not work.

  I have the dual-boot of Ubuntu installed on this machine and I think the colors under Linux are always very well, so I think it's a problem with Windows and not the monitor. Because it was working fine before, I would rather try to get everything worked, rather than the update manually the brightness/contrast of my monitor. Any ideas?

  A useful answer, I got on another forum (windows7forum.com). It worked:

  I had this problem too!

  In my case it is also explained by a driver from Windows Update called "nVidia display".

  Fortunately, I figured out how to fix it:

  1. Open Computer Management (start > right click on "Computer" > Manage)
  2. Select "Device Manager".
  3. Select 'show cards '.
  4. Right click 'NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT' (or whatever your video card)
  5. Click 'properties '.
  6. Select the 'Drivers' tab
  7. Click on the button "return to the version.

  I m using windows 7 pro. After installing the updates, I have problem with the icon on the desktop .i has no icon on the desktop when you connect. get the message the CONNECTION USER INIT FAILED. After pressing ALT + CTRL + delete > taskmanager > run > Desktop Explorer icons is displayed... .i tried many time to solve this problem of the customer service, but they are unable to solve this problem.

  My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

  From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

  Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Back up the registry
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. click continue.

  c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

  e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

  Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

  f. close the registry editor.

  g. restart the computer.

  Method 2:

  Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
  System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

  6. in the Task Manager right click on explorer.exe and kill the process.

  7. click on applications in the task manage, press new task and type explorer.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Explorer will now reboot and your icons should return.

  Alternatively, you can try to uninstall the most recent update that has caused the problem. You can uninstall an update by clicking on the icon of the program features in Control Panel. Select the update that caused the problem, and then uninstall it.

  You can also make a selection of updates to install by setting the windows updates to notify you before installing an update. To open this Panel, and then click windows updates, click settings.

• CODE 80072EFE: cannot run windows update

  I had some problems with my computer Windows Vista - Business Office.  Here are the ones I've noticed so far.

  1. I can't run windows update, I get error code 80072efe when I try.

  2. I get continuous popups.  Not all the time and not every time I have a Web browser open.  Sometimes my browser will open only to Web sites at random, for most of the sites trying to sell me something.  I've just close it before it ends even loading and it will be generally fine for awhile.

  3. on my desk, I'm going to organize my icons where I want that they around my screen (work icons in a spot programs, browsers/email in another, records of files on my second monitor, etc.)  Whenever I restart all my icons automatically group either by date or name, and I have to go through the re-organization.  (This one is obviously not really important but I thought that I list all symptoms).

  4. I tried to do a system restore, my computer has a restore point when you start if you press F11 on the scree of HP (or enter the boot menu by pressing F8 or F5, etc) and it will not allow me to enter this screen.  I can't enter the menu start and any other menu it lists on this screen, but the system restore seems to be disabled in some way.

  I tried to run the scan on windows.live.support (or whatever the site is) and he found a lot of problems and 1 question he couldn't solve, so now I'm stuck.  I tried running malwarebytes scan and it does not pick up any viruses.

  Any suggestions?

  Launch TDsskiller (Rootkit removal tool)

  After that, restart the computer and check for updates

• Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

  You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

  Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

  Phil

  If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

  Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.

• Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

  In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

  An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

  We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
  At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

  Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

• I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005

  I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005, I also ran fix and it tells me that it is fixed but it is not getting the same error code when I try to update after running it help please?

  Hello

   
   
  
  1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

  2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

  3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  4 update you are trying to install?

  5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?

  
  If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
   
  Method 1:
  One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
  Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Method 2:
  I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968003
  This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
